Colossal Weapon users are eating good, and FP consumption has been reduced for a lot of stuff.

 

[gaming_again]

Strength characters are going to be absolute beasts.

‘

• Adjusted player character control when under certain damage animations.’

Huh. Wish this was more specific.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Where is DLC?

 

[The_hunter]

PVP has the ability to have separate damage scaling, fantastic.
That's a big patch, it also says performance improvements have been made.

 

[Rawker]

DLC? I just made it out of the city and into the snow.

 

[skneogaf]

Ray tracing pre patch

 

[Saber]

Wow, theres alot of adjustments.

Seems like good reason to return to this game.

 

[gaming_again]

Is there a GAF password for co-op? I've spent the last 20 hours of game time just helping people out around Limgrave and the lakes at level 40.

Ray tracing pre patch

At this point it's probably never going to happen.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I really hate this trend of altering weapon stats post-launch

This stuff should be well balanced on day 1 and not change

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Spent 80 hours in my first play of the game. I’d estimate I played maybe… half of the content? Probably less than half. I stopped at the main boss of the Academy, but I’d done quite a bit optional cave plundering and exploration, and unlocked and explored a fair bit of the plateau region.

Cannot wait for the DLC and spending my next 80+ hours in Elden Ring. My god, what a game.

[NeverYouMind]

Wow! Thread Title should be :
New Elden Ring Update Hints At DLC Content

This info should probably go into the community thread.

I was already aware that new data has been mined with ray tracing being added.

Thanks for tagging me! I had given up hope on the raytracing patch since they'd been radio silent since around release when they said it was coming, which is why I laughed at your post. I thought you were joking!

 

[Buggy Loop]

Wow, first mentions of ray tracing

I really hope it’ll be RTGI and not some AMD optimized shit like RT shadows..

 

[Physiognomonics]

If they need to chose from one kind of RT on consoles I hope it's RTGI and not reflections RT as this kind of game could benefit more from GI.

 

[Doctor Hades]

The mention of ray-tracing in Elden Ring makes me nervous given how poorly optimised the base game is on current gen consoles and PC. Or are FromSoftware actually going to properly optimise one of their games for the first time EVER?

P.S. The best FromSoftware game to date, by far, is Demon's Souls on the PS5 because it was ported by a competent developer.

Elden Ring runs quite well on the PS5 now. A few frame drops here and there, but nothing to get worked up about. No crashes. No bugs or glitches during my 350 hours or so with it. So I'd say it's optimised pretty well. Not sure how it's on other consoles or PC though.

And regarding From Softwares other games, Dark Souls 2, 3 and Sekiro have all been patched to run at 60 fps too so I'd say those are properly optimised as well. At least on current gen consoles.

 

[N1tr0sOx1d3]

Question is would you want it? As much as I love From games, their technical prowess leaves a lot to be desired. I honestly wouldn’t expect Ray Tracing to perform well.
Happy to be proven wrong….

Nice!! Even better. So much room for activities

 

[Spukc]

omfg raytraced DLC strings?

350 hours!

 

[Needlecrash]

Been putting in more time into Elden Ring this week. I'm at the Altus Plateau now, just exploring, Just took out the Magma Wyrm AGAIN (that's the 3rd so far and finished the Shaded Castle) . Loving the art direction of the area a lot.

Gonna get more time in now that this patch is live.

 

[remember_spinal]

haven’t really played since i beat it in early march, i bet my character build is completely fucked after all these updates.

Can’t wait to see how ray tracing works considering how god awful the performance still is

 

[Mr Hyde]

350 hours!

And counting

350 hours?! How many playthroughs is that? I’m like 35% through one playthrough and am at 80 hours.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Have they fucked with my Blasphemous Blade?!

 

[nkarafo]

Was there ever a patch that fixes the weird performance issues on PC?

 

[Negotiator101]

Will this make the game easier?

 

[lh032]

Have they fucked with my Blasphemous Blade?!

I thought they increase the hit box of the weapon art?

 

[DenchDeckard]

Goty 2.0 lol

Any performance fixes in this?

You can do subsequent runs super fast because you go only for stuff necessary for your character build. It’s open world done right in that respect imo.

Most people I know have one ‘main’ with 100% of the map explored then a load of specific builds with super targeted sites of grace activated only.

 

[Tomi]

So Vga it is

 

[Shtef]

I am not really expecting much from ray tracing on consoles, they will lock it to 30 fps.

 

[skneogaf]

 

[The Cockatrice]

omfg raytraced DLC strings?

 

[Kokoloko85]

Is it stable at 60fps yet?

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Is it stable at 60fps yet?

I feel like people love to knock on the performance of the game, but it’s really not as bad as a small group of people seem to think it is. I’ve played 85+ hours on Series X and literally never had any issue.

 

[Mr Hyde]

350 hours?! How many playthroughs is that? I’m like 35% through one playthrough and am at 80 hours.

4 playthroughs. I did one character up to finishing NG++ and then I got bored and started over fresh with a new one. And now I'm heading into NG+ with that one (although I'm having a break now from the game).

 

[Tchu-Espresso]

I respecced my character to a full on intelligence build. Rennalla's full moon, comet azur, and Moonveil.

I tend to ignore using the buffs because a lot of them aren't explained very well (or at all) and I am generally shit at planning / identifying enemies various weaknesses.

 

[Beer Baelly]

Still need to beat Malenia and Elden Beast

Buffs are nice to have sometimes but they’re too fiddly to use moment-to-moment imo.

I just generally can’t be bothered with magic in dark souls. I like to up get up close and learn the move sets.

 

[benno]

looking forward to ray tracing!!
